A Very Special Occassion…

We entertained Moonfleet Bowls Club touring team from Weymouth. The weather was overcast with some light rain at times but it did not deter us from having a very friendly and enjoyable morning playing six games of rinks. Monte Mar had a good result but as always the scores really don’t matter on these sort of occasions, as everyone involved had a excellent mornings bowling. It was lovley to see our old friends Sandra and Terry Errington again. Terry was once Monte Mar Captain before moving back to the UK, so having them both play at our club again made it a very special occasion for all of us. Afterwards we all enjoyed a meal and a few drinks in the Rincon Restaurant, which rounded off the day perfectly.
